Live Data
reports
Cisco Unified
Intelligence Center provides Live Data real-time reports that you can add to
the Finesse desktop.
Note
Finesse supports
Live Data reports only with Packaged Contact Center Enterprise.
Before you add Live Data reports to the desktop, you must meet the following prerequisites:
You must have the
Live Data reports configured and working in Cisco Unified Intelligence Center.
You must use
either HTTP or HTTPS for both Cisco Unified Intelligence Center and Finesse. You
cannot use HTTP for one and HTTPS for the other. The default setting for both
after a fresh installation is HTTPS. If you want to use HTTP, you must enable it on both Cisco Unified
Intelligence Center and Finesse.
For information about enabling HTTP for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center, see the Administration Console User Guide for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center.
Ensure that user synchronization is enabled for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center. For more information, see the Administration Console User Guide for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center.
If your deployment uses HTTPS, you must upload security certificates to the Finesse and Cisco Unified Intelligence Center servers. Both Finesse and Cisco Unified Intelligence Center are installed with
self-signed certificates. However, if you use the self-signed certificates, agents and
supervisors must accept certificates in the Finesse desktop when they sign in
before they can use the Live Data gadget. To avoid this requirement, you can
provide a CA certificate instead. You can obtain a CA certificate from a
third-party certificate vendor or produce one internal to your organization.
See the Live Data information in the Reference chapter.
Add Live Data reports to Finesse
The following sections describe how to add the Live Data reports to the Finesse desktop. The procedure that you follow depends on your deployment. The following table describes when to use each procedure.
Procedure
When to use
Add Live Data reports to default desktop layout
Use this procedure if you want to add Live Data reports to the Finesse desktop after a fresh installation or after an upgrade if you have not customized the default desktop layout.
Add Live Data reports to custom desktop layout
Use this procedure if you have customized the Finesse desktop layout.
Add Live Data reports to team layout
Use this procedure if you want to add Live Data reports to the desktop layout for specific teams only.
The Finesse
default layout XML contains commented XML code for the Live Data report gadgets
available for the Finesse desktop. The gadgets are divided into two categories:
HTTPS version of Live Data gadgets and HTTP version of Live Data gadgets.
This procedure
explains how to add the Live Data report gadgets to the default desktop layout. Use this procedure after a fresh installation of Finesse. If you upgraded Finesse but do not have a custom desktop layout, click Restore Default Layout on the Manage Desktop Layout gadget and then follow the steps in this procedure.
Procedure
Step 1
Sign in to the
Finesse administration console.
Step 2
Click the
Desktop Layout tab.
Step 3
Remove the comment characters (<!-- and -->) from each report that you want to add to the desktop layout. Make sure you choose the reports that match the method your agents use to access the Finesse desktop (HTTP or HTTPS).
Step 4
Replace
my-cuic-server with the fully-qualified domain name of your Cisco Unified
Intelligence Server.
Step 5
Optionally,
change the gadget height.
Example:
The height specified in the Live Data gadget URLs is 310 pixels.
If you want to change the height, change the gadgetHeight parameter in the URL
to the desired value. For example, if you want the gadget height to be 400
pixels, change the code as follows:
If you do not specify anything for the gadget height (if you
remove the 310 from the URL), it defaults to 170 pixels.
Step 6
Click
Save.
Note
After you add a gadget, sign in to the Finesse desktop and make
sure it appears the way you want. If you use a report with a large number of
columns, you may want to adjust the gadget height or the screen resolution on
the computer used to access the desktop to make the report easier to read or
make more rows appear on the screen without needing to scroll down.
Agents who are signed in when you change the desktop layout must sign out and sign back in to see the change on their desktops.
Add Live Data
reports to custom desktop layout
The Finesse
default layout XML contains commented XML code for the Live Data report gadgets
available for the Finesse desktop. The gadgets are divided into two categories:
HTTPS version of Live Data gadgets and HTTP version of Live Data gadgets.
This procedure
explains how to add the Live Data report gadgets to a custom desktop layout.
Procedure
Step 1
Sign in to the
Finesse administration console.
Step 2
Click the
Desktop Layout tab.
Step 3
Click
Finesse Default Layout XML to show the default
layout XML.
Step 4
Copy the XML
code for the report you want to add from the Finesse default layout XML. If
your agents use HTTP to access Finesse, copy the XML code for the HTTP report.
If they use HTTPS, copy the XML code for the HTTPS report.
Example:
To add the
Agent Report for HTTPS, copy the following:
Replace
my-cuic-server with the fully-qualified domain name of your Cisco Unified
Intelligence Server.
Step 7
Optionally,
change the gadget height.
Example:
The height specified in the Live Data gadget URLs is 310 pixels.
If you want to change the height, change the gadgetHeight parameter in the URL
to the desired value. For example, if you want the gadget height to be 400
pixels, change the code as follows:
If you do not specify anything for the gadget height (if you
remove the 310 from the URL), it defaults to 170 pixels.
Step 8
Click
Save.
Note
After you add a gadget, sign in to the Finesse desktop and make
sure it appears the way you want. If you use a report with a large number of
columns, you may want to adjust the gadget height or the screen resolution on
the computer used to access the desktop to make the report easier to read or
make more rows appear on the screen without needing to scroll down.
Agents who are signed in when you change the desktop layout must sign out and sign back in to see the change on their desktops.
Add Live Data reports to team layout
The Finesse
default layout XML contains commented XML code for the Live Data report gadgets

If they use HTTPS, copy the XML code for the HTTPS report.
Example:
To add the
Agent Report for HTTPS, copy the following:
Replace
my-cuic-server with the fully-qualified domain name of your Cisco Unified
Intelligence Server.
Step 11
Optionally,
change the gadget height.
Example:

Modify Live Data stock reports for Finesse
This procedure describes how to modify the Live Data stock reports in Cisco Unified Intelligence Center and add the modified report to the Finesse desktop layout.
Note
To make sure the modified gadget renders in the Finesse desktop, you must give the appropriate permission for that report in Cisco Unified Intelligence Center.
Procedure
Step 1
Copy the gadget URL for the report you want to modify from the Finesse default layout XML and paste it into a text editor.
Example:
If you want to modify the Agent Report for HTTPS, copy the following URL and past it into a text editor:
Replace the viewID value in the gadget URL with the viewID value from the permalink of the customized report.
Step 5
Replace my-cuic-server with the FQDN of the Cisco Intelligence Center server.
Step 6
Add the customized gadget URL to the desktop layout XML in the Manage Desktop Layout gadget and click Save.
Note
After you add the gadget, sign in to the Finesse desktop and make
sure it appears the way you want. If you use a report with a large number of
columns, you may want to adjust the gadget height or the screen resolution on
the computer used to access the desktop to make the report easier to read or
make more rows appear on the screen without the need to scroll.
